Chapter 83 Grave Digging Trio
The reincarnators once again organized a mighty group to Biertan Village.
In fact, Fu Qihai didn't really want to go to Biertan Village right now. He also wanted to dig through the ruins of the Santa Cata Monastery to see if there were any other clues.
It can be seen from the ruins that this is not a small monastery, with cellars, towers, front yards, back yards and inner yards.
Now only a charred ruin remains.
Because Fu Qihai feels that the development of things is a bit passive now. It seems that no one here has watched the movie "The Nun" except Lu Sifan. In this case, Lu Sifan has become the only source of information and the only one with the right to speak. People, what he says, other people can only believe what.
This made Fu Qihai feel a little uncomfortable.
Fu Qihai has always been a suspicious person. From the very beginning, he began to doubt Wo Kuotai because of a silver coin formed by a warrior association. Until now, Fu Qihai also faintly felt that something was wrong.
But there is no way, according to the survival rules of horror movies summed up by good things netizens, the first rule is not to act separately, and the priority of this rule is even higher than not to act at night.
According to the conventions of horror movies, at this moment, Fu Qihai should go with the main force instead of digging the ruins of the monastery alone.
Fu Qihai, who was walking in the team, heard a reincarnated person approach Lu Sifan and asked:
"Sir Rusfan, in the cemetery we passed before, why is there a small bell in front of the tombstone? What does it mean?"
Fu Qihai listened attentively while walking, this was actually his problem.
Lu Sifan explained patiently: "According to the movie, there was once a plague in this area. In order to prevent the undead from being buried in the tomb by mistake, we put a small bell in front of the tombstone and connected it with a wire. to the coffin, and if the man is still alive, he pulls the bell, and if he is lucky, he will be found."
Fu Qihai nodded in his heart. This is a way. It is actually a very technical job to determine whether a person is completely dead. Human beings' definition of death is also constantly updated. In ancient times when medical technology was underdeveloped, it was not uncommon to bury people who were not yet dead.
During World War II, there were planes and tanks fighting outside, and outdated horse-drawn carriages were still used here. This area called Transylvania was obviously not a developed place.
As he walked, Fu Qihai took a look around, and suddenly found that the woman in black who had been hanging around the big team, Zhang Yuning, was gone.
No one cares about this lone ranger.
But Zhang Yuning's disappearance reminded Fu Qihai that he quietly slowed down and moved slowly to the end of the big team.
Now everyone is walking down the hillside, and Fu Qihai, who is walking at the end, can easily see everyone.
One, two, three, four... Fu Qihai counted the number of people one by one.
Then it was discovered that three people were missing.
Fu Qihai, who came to this conclusion, remained calm on the surface, but was already thinking secretly in his heart.
When did they disappear, and where did these three people go?
Fu Qihai didn't open his mouth to speak. Everyone was a tried and tested reincarnator. He didn't believe that he was the only one in the whole team who was keen.
Sure enough, after a while, someone suddenly shouted loudly:
"Hey, did you find out, it seems that there are a few people missing!"
As soon as he shouted, the whole team stopped, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling as if the number of people had indeed decreased.
At this time, the sound of a branch being trampled suddenly sounded in the nearby woods, and two people came out laughing, scratching their heads and saying:
"I'm sorry, everyone, I went to relieve my hand just now, so it's convenient, haha."
Seeing these two return and join the team, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere that had just risen dissipated again.
This is the benefit of not distinguishing camps in the reincarnation world. Everyone knows that there is no assimilation point reward for killing each other, so the suspicion between each other is naturally much less.
Only Fu Qihai grinned playfully.
This is one less person.
As mentioned earlier, Tony Stark's electronic soul backup has the characteristics of an electronic brain. Fu Qihai reads like a scan, and he can still remember ten lines at a glance. Before setting off at the entrance of the town, he quietly counted the number of people. Can't go wrong.
Fu Qihai saw that the two people who claimed to go to relieve themselves just now walked up to Lu Sifan, whispered something, then Lu Sifan nodded, and continued to lead the team forward without saying anything. go.
This team has problems, big problems...
Fu Qihai took a deep look at Lu Sifan's back, and when the team circled around a boulder in the mountain, Fu Qihai, who had been at the end of the large group, turned around quickly without making a sound, left the large group, and burrowed into the bushes among.
Now he doesn't care about the principle that horror movies can't act separately, and he wants to go back the same way to investigate what happened to the missing person.
Fu Qihai ran all the way up the mountain quickly, and he didn't need to hide that he didn't want to follow the crowd. When he was advancing with all his strength, his speed was three times faster than when he came.
Fu Qihai first came to the ruins of the monastery. Fu Qihai jumped into the ruins, broke away a block of stones, and searched carefully, but found no useful clues, and found nothing.
The ruins of the monastery were too large to be removed and searched by myself.
He was the first one to check the ruins, and the person who disappeared should not be here. Fu Qihai raised his head and looked around, thinking to himself.
Where might it be?
Could it be... Fu Qihai thought of a place, jumped up from the ruins, and ran in a certain direction.
When we came to the cemetery area where weeds were overgrown and tombstones were everywhere, the sky was getting dark.
The surrounding woods were dimly shadowed, and the visibility was slightly reduced, but it did not affect Fu Qihai, who had a visual control organ.
Fu Qihai walked into the cemetery, but accidentally saw a person he didn't expect.
A tall, thin-shouldered woman in black.
With his back facing Fu Qihai, he stood alone in a forest of steles.
"what are you doing here?"
Looking at the woman's back, Fu Qihai spoke, and the words were in Chinese.
Zhang Yuning didn't turn around, didn't look back, didn't answer Fu Qihai's question, but looked ahead, and said lightly:
"There is a living person buried here."
Living people... Could it be? Fu Qihai's heart trembled slightly.
Fu Qihai stepped forward a few steps, came to Zhang Yuning's side, turned to look at this indifferent woman, and asked:
"where is he?"
Zhang Yuning gently closed her eyes, felt it for a few seconds, opened her eyes, pointed in a direction and said:
"there."
Fu Qihai ran forward, and soon noticed that the freshness of the soil in front of a tomb was obviously different from that of the surrounding ones, and the stone tombstone in front of the tomb had already been corroded by wind and rain.
There is a small bell in front of the surrounding tombstones, but there is no bell in front of this tombstone.
The woman in black, Zhang Yuning, also came to the tomb.
Fu Qihai looked around, pulled out a wooden cross, and inserted it into the soil like a hoe to dig!
The soil was very loose, and the burial was not deep. Fu Qihai dug the coffin board in a short while, and he could already hear the sound of twisting and bumping in the coffin board.
Fu Qihai pulled open the coffin board, and the copper lock on the side of the coffin snapped, revealing a tightly bound young man inside.
Fu Ting untied the cloth strips that bound his mouth.
This young man with brown hair, high nose, faint freckles on his face, and blood all over his head quickly sat up, gasped, and after taking a few breaths of fresh air, he raised his head to look at Fu Qihai and Zhang Yuning, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, thank you for saving me!"
Fu Qihai frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man gasped as his chest heaved and he replied, "I am Ron Bentham, a reincarnator in Rusfan's team. I, who have met you, are the muscle-strengthener they say."
Fu Qihai asked, "Why are you here?"
Ron Bentham took a breath, glanced at Fu Chenghai, and said:
"Can you untie me first?"
...
Fu Qihai untied the young man's tightly bound hands and feet, and the young man crawled out of the grave, with black bones that had been crushed to pieces in the coffin behind him.
Ron Bentham patted the bone fragments attached to his back, and explained to Fu Qihai and Zhang Yuning.
Ron is a reincarnation who decided to follow the Rusfan group in the small town. He has no special abilities. The only advantage of this copy world for him is that he has seen the horror movie "The Nun".
At the beginning, Ron Bentham didn't tell the people around him that he also knew the plot of "The Nun". He just silently mixed in the whole team and followed everyone.
After being in Rusfan's team for a while, Ron gradually became acquainted with the two reincarnated people around him, and had some private exchanges until the large army of reincarnated people came to the ruins of Santa Cata Monastery , Ron Bentham quietly told two familiar reincarnators that he felt that Sir Rusfan seemed to have reservations when retelling the plot of the movie, and he didn't fully explain some settings.
Ron thought less.
He thought he was the same as himself, and the two people who were reincarnated alone were actually both Ru Sifan's caretakers in the team, and they were both Ru Sifan's people.
Outside the monastery, all the people dispersed one after another. When they started to search for another group of reincarnated people according to Fu Qihai's prompt, the two took advantage of the opportunity to subdue Ron, tied him up and buried him in a tomb.
The blood and wounds on Ron's head were caused by someone hitting him hard from the back of the head.
Fu Qihai asked what he thought was the most unreasonable part of this passage:
"Then why didn't they just kill you? Wouldn't it be simpler?"
Ron replied: "Because if you kill me directly, the assimilation points will be deducted by the reincarnation world. They want me to die slowly in the cemetery. It is best to be alive when the copy world ends."
Fu Qihai looked at Zhang Yuning's face next to her, and found that she looked as usual, so he guessed that what Ron said should be true.
That is, if reincarnators who did not distinguish between camps kill each other, not only will there be no assimilation point rewards, but even assimilation points will be deducted.
Fu Qihai didn't want to expose the fact that he entered the dungeon world for the first time, which seemed very shameless.
Fu Qihai nodded and asked, "Then what plots does he have reservations about?"
Ron muttered, "It's really nothing. Rusfan has a high prestige among this group of people. I didn't question his meaning at the time. I just said: Sir didn't seem to mention how this demon came to the monastery." .”
"Oh?" Fu Qihai became interested, and immediately asked:
"Then how did this demon Valak come to this monastery?"
Ron said: "The movie said that in the Middle Ages, this place belonged to a territory called the Duke of Santa Cata. This monastery was originally the castle of the Duke of Santa Cata. The Duke collected and recorded various witchcraft spells and rituals on weekdays. A dark and bloody summoning ceremony was held in the castle in an attempt to summon the evil power in hell for his own use."
"At the last moment of the summoning, the Duke was killed by the Catholic church army who came, and the bishop used the blood of Jesus to seal the gate between hell and the world, and then converted the castle into a monastery, guarded by pious nuns sent by the Vatican day and night , until the outbreak of World War II, and you all know what happened afterwards.”
After finishing speaking, Ron complained: "It's nothing, I just helped him add the antecedent setting, but when the two reincarnated people heard it, they immediately decided to kill me."
Ritual... Summoning the demon... Fu Qihai muttered these key words in his heart.
Fu Qihai thinks that this wave of setting is still very important, which means that this demon Valak was not in the monastery from the beginning, but someone planned to summon him from hell, halfway through the summoning, he was interrupted by someone, and then he was sealed. .
But what does this have to do with Lu Sifan wanting to silence him?
No matter what ulterior motives Lu Sifan has in forming this team and arranging his own team, at least Lu Sifan's own reincarnation mission is the same as that of all reincarnations, they are all sealed. Demon Valak.
This is also the reason why many reincarnated people trust him so much, because the reincarnated world has not issued a second mission.
Or is it simply to maintain his right to speak in the ranks of reincarnations and his status as a key opinion leader (KOL)?
There's no need to kill people to silence them. There are obviously nurses in the team. It only needs a few nurses to help maintain Rusfan's authority, and Ron's voice can be completely suppressed.
Bury Ron Bentham in the cemetery, in case he can't hold back and dies early, then assimilation points will have to be deducted.
Fu Qihai thought of a key point and asked: "Then after the seal in this monastery was blown up by C4 explosives, should the demon Valak be completely unsealed and come to the world, or should he go back to hell?"
Ron Bentham thought for a while and said, "No, the plot shown in the movie shows that the body of the hell demon Valak did not fully come to the world, and was interrupted. He is now trapped in the monastery. It’s just a ray of Valak’s power, even if the seal is completely destroyed, if Valak wants to come to the world completely, he should still need to continue the ceremony of the Duke of Santa Cata, at least that’s what he did in the movie.”
"How did he do it?"
"In the movie, the heroine, a trainee nun, is a psychic and is very devout to God. Valak finally possessed this nun, and seems to intend to sacrifice her and use her to continue the summoning ceremony."
Psychics, or psychics, yin and yang eyes, whatever you call them, they all have the same meaning anyway.
It is a person who can see demons and ghosts that ordinary people cannot see.
People with this kind of setting are found in many supernatural horror movies, either the protagonist, or the thigh that the protagonist needs to hug, which plays a very important role in advancing the plot. After all, psychics can at least see the existence of ghosts. No matter whether you know any exorcism spells or not, it's better than ordinary people being beaten because they can't see anything.
"Psychic..." Fu Qihai muttered to himself, remembering something, he turned to Zhang Yuning on the other side, and asked, "How did you know that Ron was buried here?"
Zhang Yuning still had that cold look on her face, she nodded and said, "That's right, I'm a psychic."
Zhang Yuning continued: "But I know that he was buried here not because of his psychic ability."
Ron Bentham is a living person with yin and yang eyes who can see ghosts. Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with psychics. Fu Qinghai asked:
"What ability is that?"
Zhang Yuning turned her head, looked at Fu Qihai expressionlessly, and said, "It won't do you any good to know."
This glance, for a moment, seemed to contain extreme hatred and malice, which made Fu Qihai's hair stand on end for a moment.
Zhang Yuning turned her head away and stopped looking at Fu Qihai, the hatred and malice disappeared, the feeling just now seemed to be an illusion, but the hairs on Fu Qihai's arms now told herself that it was not an illusion.
This woman also hides many secrets... Fu Qihai's heart shuddered.
You must know that Fu Qihai is not a timid person who can be easily frightened. In the Warhammer 40K universe, he has faced death several times and walked on the edge of life and death many times. Not enough to make him react so much.
However, as mentioned above, psychics are very useful in horror movies. Knowing that Zhang Yuning is a reincarnation person and has the same reincarnation mission as herself, she should indeed be given the same reincarnation mission as Lu Sifan. trust.
The same trust as Lu Sifan, in short, not much trust.
But now it is obvious that it is impossible to follow Lu Sifan. Another person who has seen the plot of the movie is by his side, and this person was discovered by Zhang Yuning, so Fu Chenghai can only choose to believe Ron's words and treat Zhang Yuning a little more trust a little.
At least for now, Zhang Yuning's status in Fu Qihai's heart is better than that of Lu Sifan!
And Lu Sifan, who chose to kill other reincarnations, has already been thrown into the wolf's pit in Fu Qihai's heart.
From the current point of view, the only result of the bombing of the monastery is that this ray of Valak's power can roam around the world uncontrollably, possessing this one today and that one tomorrow, causing the reincarnations to be unable to complete their sealing tasks. , and finally one reincarnation life was deducted at the end of the dungeon world.
The sky had completely darkened. In the dark cemetery, there were only three people and a kerosene lamp brought by Zhang Yuning. Zhang Yuning looked cold and silent as always. Fu Qinghai was frowning and thinking, and Ron Bentham on the side suddenly thought of What, said excitedly:
"By the way, I remembered that there is an important clue in this cemetery!"
"What important clues?" Fu Qinghai asked.
Ron said: "I'm still deeply impressed by this movie. In the original plot, the priest was designed by Valak to fall into a coffin in a grave pit. He was almost suffocated in the coffin, and was finally rescued by a trainee nun. In that coffin, there is a pile of ancient books and materials, which seem to record the ritual content of the Duke of St. Carta's summoning Valak."
Before Fu Qinghai could speak, Zhang Yuning's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Where is the tomb? Take me there quickly!"
Fu Qinghai frowned and wondered, why are you so excited?
Ron Bentham said: "At that time, the movie gave a close-up shot of the tombstone. I was somewhat impressed, but you have to lead me to search here, and I will see if I can find the tombstone."
The two of them carried kerosene lamps and took Ron with them to search the tombstones in the cemetery area one by one. Finally, Ron stopped at a tombstone that read "HERE LIES FATHER ANTHONY RURKE".
"Father Anthony Luke is buried here..." Fu Qinghai looked at the tombstone and muttered in a low voice.
In front of the tombstone is a deep, open grave pit, with a coffin lying quietly inside.
Ron said with certainty: "It was in this coffin that the protagonist, the priest, found several ancient books that the Duke of St. Carta used to summon Valak. In the books, the hero and heroine knew the origin of Valak and how to seal him. way."
Fu Qinghai stepped down into the tomb and opened the coffin board.
The three of them didn't expect it.
Inside the coffin, there was nothing.

Thanks, I love Rainy Days, lussii, DK Love Songs, and three book friends’ rewards. A book can’t be full of rushes and kills all the time. It will make you tired of reading. I’ll try to take a suspense route. I wonder if everyone will adapt to it?
Although this plot is only a short-lived dungeon world, the Conjuring universe will still play a role in subsequent adventures, so I spent more time setting the worldview in advance.
The Conjuring Universe is one of the few horror movie series with a universal world view.
